ALL SAINTS LITTLE SHELFORD PCC

Annual report 2022

Background

All Saints Little Shelford Parochial Church Council (PCC) has the responsibility for co-operating with the rector, Revd Simon Scott, in promoting in the ecclesiastical parish the evangelistic and pastoral mission of the Church.

Membership

Members of the PCC are ex officio, elected by the Annual Parochial Church Meeting (APCM), or co-opted, in accordance with the Church Representation Rules.

During the year the following served as members of the PCC: Incumbent: Revd Simon Scott Curate: Revd Edward Keene Diocesan Synod member: David Brock Deanery Synod member: Miles Cragg, Clive Ayling Wardens: David Brock (retired April 2022), Justin Cross; Clive Ayling Co-opted: Robin Church, Tom Habib (retired September 2022), Tim Glauert

Elected members:

Secretary:

Alison Hynds

Lay members of the PCC receive no formal induction and training. Any member of the congregation on the electoral roll may stand for election to the PCC. The patron (with the right to appoint an incumbent when a vacancy arises) is the Bishop of Ely.

The PCC has reviewed the key risks and in regard to the physical safety of those on church premises has appointed a health and safety officer. In addition, those involved with children are subject to Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) checks administered via the diocese. The incumbent and PCC have had regard to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit.

Committees

The PCC operates through a number of groups and committees, which meet between full meetings of the PCC:

External Mission Group:

Joan Church, Clive Ayling, Angela Palmer (Chair), Pui Ip, David Tisdall, Revd Edward Keene Remit – to recommend giving projects and amounts to the PCC and to encourage prayer for these projects. The PCC’s policy is to make grants totalling 20% of budgeted planned giving (including tax recovery) for the year to home and overseas mission partners.

ALL SAINTS LITTLE SHELFORD PCC

Annual report (continued)

Finance and Standing Committee:

Incumbent (chair), Wardens, Treasurer, Steve Pearce (retired April 2022), Neil Wade (from May 2022) Remit – to take decisions between PCC meetings (for subsequent PCC ratification as necessary) and to consider items for the PCC agenda.

Fabric Committee:

David Brock (chair), Dr John Coppendale, Neil Wade, Simon Conway-Smith and Paul Danes Remit – the planning and supervision of all works relating to the church building, the North Building, and the churchyard.

The committee did not meet in 2022 but will be re-constituted in 2023 with different membership.

Church attendance

Average attendance was around 120 on a typical Sunday across three services, and the number on the electoral roll at the APCM was 112.

Financial review

The income for the year ended 31 December 2022 was £265,206 (2021: £265,647). Planned giving (including the tax recoverable on Gift-Aided giving) fell by £6,278, which is 3% of last year’s total . Gift Day income fell 30% to £20,108 from £29,074 the previous year, but unplanned giving, including collections, rose over 80% to £29,517 from £16,083 last year. Other income was derived from fees, the bookstall, and the charges arising from activities. Investments yielded a slightly higher income of £1,075 but the value of those investments fell by £4,464.

Resources expended amounted to £267,512 (2021: £272,133). Expenditure on activities directly related to the work of the church was £222,780 (2021: £231,821). Missionary and charitable grants were higher at £44,732 and expenditure on church fabric doubled to £19,152 to address issues arising from the quinquennial inspection.

Net outgoing resources for the year showed a deficit of £2,306 reduced from a deficit of £6,486 in 2021. After investment losses of £4,464 (2021 gain £4,816) the deficit for the year was £6,770 (2021 £1,670). At the year end the net assets were £111,536 (2021: £118,306).

The PCC has sufficient reserves, organised into restricted, designated and general funds, as described in note 9 to the accounts.

Responsibilities of the members of the PCC in relation to the accounts

The PCC is responsible for all parish finance, its management and control, including the appointment of a treasurer. Its legal responsibilities include:

Plans for future periods

The programme of activities in 2023 will continue to focus on the church’s mission. A part -time assistant minister for youth and music currently continues in post, and a new curate will soon be getting established. We continue to emphasise the importance of our work amongst families and are therefore strengthening our volunteer teams. We hope to rearrange our midweek groups to ensure the growth and support of our regular members. We continue to consider how best to attract and reach out to people who have not come to services in the past.

9. Funds

a) Fund descriptions

The PCC's restricted funds comprise donations and grants held for purposes specified by the donors. Funds which are held by the PCC for general purposes (and have not been restricted by the donors) are unrestricted. The PCC has set aside certain funds ('designated funds') for particular projects. These funds may be redesignated by the PCC as necessary.

Restricted funds

The Building Fund exists to support the repair and restoration of the fabric of the church using income from external sources such as public appeals.

The Churchyard Fund pays for the upkeep of the churchyard. It derives some income from investments but also receives transfers from the General Fund.

Designated funds

The External Mission Fund is to provide grants for Christian use to external groups and institutions. Current policy is to each year transfer 20% of budgeted income from the General Fund into this fund.

The Evangelism Fund is to provide funding for the church's evangelistic activities. This fund is moribund since 2014 and the balance will be folded back into the general fund in 2023.

The Support Fund exists to assist Christian brothers and sisters experiencing financial hardship. Payments from this fund are at the discretion of the incumbent and churchwardens. This designated fund exists alongside the restricted Support Fund.

The Fabric Fund is used to set aside resources for repairs and major maintenance of both the church building and the North Building. As a designated fund, the PCC may increase its reserves in anticipation of a building project, and allocate to this fund external grants received in relation to such projects, and conversely transfer surplus resources from this fund back to the General Fund.

Unrestricted fund

The General Fund is for the daily operation of the church.
